Feb. 13th, 2007 11:35 pmSomehow, I managed to rewrite twenty pages of Kitewinds in a full-page format and get about as far in the story as I did with twenty pages of the strips the size of newspaper comic strips.
Huh?
What's worse, I didn't realize this until Steve pointed out how few panels per page I'd written. So, after looking today at the few comic books I have (essentially the Bone phonebook and Maus), it seems like six panels per page is pretty standard, with the rare seven-panel page. Now, I just need to figure out if that'll work as well for a webcomic as it does for print comics.
Incidentally, the more I write for Kitewinds, the more I'm wanting to buy actual comic books, if only to see how storytelling's done in twenty pages. (How fast the pacing is, how much time is spent on each character, what an acceptable amount of thought bubbles is, good panel angles, and so on.)
Of course, now that I need to rewrite this, my muse seems to be on a plane to Arizona.
